I made this choice back in 2010. Chose Camden over Newark (same $$ at each) even though I was from North Jersey because I liked it better (plus a variety of other reasons). Did you get a chance to visit both? Because they have very very different vibes. If you really really prefer NYC/North Jersey, though, you should choose Newark. I was far more neutral on NYC-North NJ/Philly-South NJ.
